The minute-long clip features the hip-hop legends advocating for healthcare transparency.
“Today, we confront a health care system that has been rigged against all of us,” they collectively said in the minute-long video. “Hospitals force patients to sign contracts for services without ever showing us actual prices, stifling competition, overcharging without accountability. And if we can’t pay, these same contracts allow them to take everything we own.
“Stifling competition. Overcharging without accountability and we can’t pay. These same contracts allow them to take everything we own,” they continue. “Creating so much fear that millions and millions of Americans refuse to enter a hospital. Our health and our lives at stake. This is an American humanitarian crisis. We demand prices and transparency in healthcare.”
Earlier this year, Power to the Patients, Fat Joe, City Council Members and various union groups in New York City joined forces to advocate for transparency efforts. That resulted in Mayor Eric Adams signing the Healthcare Accountability and Consumer Protection Act in June 2023. The Act launched the nation’s first Office of Health Care Accountability to allow New Yorkers to compare hospital costs for the same services.
